Hey y'all I am new here. I just recently got diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and I am still trying to figure out everything. Since turning 13, I have been dealing with very bizarre thoughts and sometimes hallucinations. I wanted to ask if you struggle with similar symptoms and how do you deal with it? Does it ever get better? Thanks

Hello everyone! How are you doing?

Do you have delusional ideas and hallucinations? How do you cope with such symptoms? How did your symptoms progress/change with time?

Take care,

I've only had hallucinations a few times and they were caused by meds. Big furry spiders I kept hopping on them to kill them for 2 days. I finally figured they weren't really because they didn't die. I called the Dr got a med change and poof they were gone. Thank goodness. Good luck, have patience.

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
